Quire

Pro Tip 1/3

Archaic Term

The term 'quire' is outdated and rarely used in everyday language; understand it for historical or specialized texts.

I found an old quire of poems from the 19th century in the attic.

Pro Tip 2/3

Specific Quantity

'Quire' specifically refers to 24 or 25 sheets, so don't use it to mean any small number of pages.

I only need a quire, not an entire ream of paper.

Pro Tip 3/3

Quality Consistency

A 'quire' implies sheets are of the same size and quality, important in printing and art.

Make sure the quire you bought is suitable for your art project.
